In India, there was a neighbours kid who practically grew up in our house. He had dinner at our place...we had cable TV (first in our street )..he would be watching TV and some days he would just fall asleep and we would tuck a pillow and cover him with a blanket.
The first day I was in the USA (Texas), I was advised by my cousin who received me to not to wander around into neighbors property or knock on the door. He said I have to take appointment before visiting them else I could get shot for trespassing.

You must be OUT of your mind. Exaggerating everything in life DOES NOT help nandu !
I have myself lived in the US for 2 years and believee..the americans are NOT CRAZY for your blood ! The menace of shooting n stuff is equally faced by americans themselves as with people form any other country.
USA, by far, is still one of the few countries in the world that has real LAW AND ORDER !
It takes real sweat to build a country like US or India...dont just spit our unneccesary venom...

I do not know whether the Indian government will make some effort to find out the truth behind all the deaths of Indian students in the US

Expect more of this. There is tremendous pressure on these kids to "make it" that too in a bad economy. Add to that women trouble, home trouble and financial trouble all adds up to one heady mix of depression for the weak hearted. As attitudes change in india, expect more of this.

Yeah that's call respecting private property something Indians don't know. Living in your neighbor's house with his permission is a different thing, but without his consent if you are going to do something, people in India are going to be pissed at you, call the inefficient police(probably), and people in America will shoot you before calling police.
But as long as you don't do these things without a criminal intent, nobody in America is going to shoot you, even if they do, they are going to jail. Your cousin just over-exaggerated the whole thing, so did you.
